torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over
your hand.
c) Do not position your body in line with the rotating wheel.
Kickback will propel the
tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory.
Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the
rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade, segmented diamond wheel with a
peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
f) Do not “jam” the wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an
excessive depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility
to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel break-
age.
g) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the
power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete
stop. Never attempt to remove the wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion
otherwise kickback may occur.
Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the
cause of wheel binding.
h) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full
speed and carefully re-enter the cut.
The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the
power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
i) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching
and kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be
placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both
sides of the wheel.
j) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing walls or other blind
areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that
can cause kickback.
Guard function
a)
Check guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if guard
does not move freely and enclose the blade instantly. Never clamp or tie the
guard so that the blade is exposed.
If saw is accidentally dropped, guard may be
bent. Check to make sure that guard moves freely and does not touch the blade or any
other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
b)
Check the operation and condition of the guard return spring. If the guard and
the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use.
Guard
may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c)
Assure that the base plate of the saw will not shift while performing the “plunge
cut” when the blade bevel setting is not at 90°.
Blade shifting sideways will cause
binding and likely kick back.
d)
Always observe that the guard is covering the blade before placing saw down on
